Amy's Cheese-Ball

FB Source: John M Simmons

Ingredients:

Cheese Ball:
16 oz cream cheese
4 oz onion dip (like for potato chips)
2 cups shredded colby and monterey jack cheese combined
(you may substitute cheese of your choice)
1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 Tbsp A-1 steak sauce
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 Tbsp Mrs. Dash* original salt substitute.
1 celery stalk finely chopped
1 green onion finely chopped
1/4 cup carrots finely chopped or shredded
Ritz cracker crumbs or seasoned bread crumbs.

Turkey:
small piece of red bell pepper or tomato (for turkey wattle)
Pepperidge Farms Cracker Trio

Directions:

Cheese Ball:

1. Set aside cracker crumbs. (They will be used to coat the outside of the finished cheese ball.)
2. Mix together Worcestershire sauce, A-1 and lemon juice. Combine ingredients and cream together by hand. Form into desired shape. Coat with cracker crumbs, or more shredded cheese. 

Turkey:

1. Shape your cheese ball into a turkey shape, using the picture as a guide.
2. Use cracker crumbs to coat body and use Pepperidge Farm Cracker Trio for tail feathers and wings. Use chopped nuts for the eyes, a sliver of cheese for the beak and red bell pepper or tomato for the wattle.

*For our friends outside the U.S.- Mrs. Dash is a salt free seasoning blend of herbs and spices.

Amy said I could share her cheese ball recipe with you. It's awesome. Today she made it in the shape of a turkey.
